Summary: Frigg gets an unexpected visitor

The Norse wedding was barely a week away. Most of the details had been squared away, but there were always a few last-minute things to take care of. Ensuring the flowers were ordered, that the catering had the final headcount. Things like that.

Suddenly the door burst open and in swept a woman--at first, she seemed young. College-aged, maybe. But... a closer look showed her to be more ageless than anything. She had a book under her arm.
"Here's the new style book, Ms. Lawson!" she chirped, "Oh, is that for the Wheatley-Shin wedding?" She pointed to the work strewn over the desk. "Such a sweet couple, those two."

I see." Frigg was quiet for a time before she spoke again. "May I ask you a question?"

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"Ask."

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

"Where are Odin and the others?"

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"That is an answer I cannot give you. But they are not harmed."

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

"Why were they taken?" Frigg asked, trying to keep her voice level.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"Another answer I cannot give you," 'Terra' said with what sounded like a touch of regret.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Frigg's hands clenched, and she took several small, calming breaths, managing to keep up the appearance of composure.

"I see. Truth be told I was expecting an answer like that," she replied neutrally.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"I promise, when you're ready for those answers, the game will be up," 'Terra' said.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

"And what happens when the game is up? What happens to everyone who doesn't win this game you've set up?"

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"If I don't win? Nothing. There will be nothing," 'Terra' said with a shrug.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

"If YOU don't win?" Frigg had immediately picked up on this. "So it's not a collaboration, your competing with that other guy for something."

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"I have vested interest in ensuring your survival. I make no promises for my... counterpart," she said, pursing her lips.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

"Earthmother, please, if there is something larger going on, please tell me. It would go a long way towards convincing the others to trust you," Frigg pleaded.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"My dear, there is always something larger going on. I have told you what you need to know for now," she replied.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

And Frigg sighs at that. "Very well then. I'll do what I can."

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"That's what I was hoping to hear. Reach out. Do what you can to come together. It will serve you all in days to come."

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

"I suppose I should say thank you, but you'll understand if I'm a little conflicted, Earthmother."

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"My thanks will be your success, dear."

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

"So be it."

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"Best of luck to you--and have fun with the wedding!" 'Terra' chirped before heading to the door.

Frigg didn't respond. She wasn't feeling as chipper as she had been.
